God I Hope They're Still Sleeping Together... If Fact I Hope They've Just Bought A Large Queen Bed To

another painting, again captured with my phone camera, buff Mac is just sooo

Macdennis fic idea

Again, I am lazy (and also not very good at writing) but I wanna throw this fic idea out there. So, you know how they take turns choosing the music. Well, Dennis's choices start to get really specific. Mac acts oblivious, but his songs also start to sound a lot like a response to dennis's. Eventually theyre just kinda talking back and forth through their music.

Id pay a lot more than 15 dollars to lick dennis reynolds sorry

Mac is literally the cleanest of the gang, I don’t care that they dropped his bossiness a bit in later seasons but he was still the one cleaning Charlie and Frank’s apartment in “Mac and Dennis break up”, so I’ll just take that scene as representative of his entire character from now on, thank you very much

But seriously, it makes sense. We’ve seen his mom, how she’s a mess alone (and his father wouldn’t make much of a difference if he was present). Lots of people that grow up in an uncaring and messy environment tend to grow up and take cleaningness very seriously. I speak from personal experience when I say I get anxious when I see a messy bedroom precisely because it brings me back to my early childhood. Mac took the role of “man of the house” very seriously after his father went to jail, it’s very evident his bossiness and need to take care of people came from that. He NEEDS Dennis to need him, because if he doesn’t, what’s preventing him from just leaving?

Speaking of Dennis, I wouldn’t describe him as clean like other people have. He’s not messy, he likes to have things organized, but only to the extent of his own willingness to clean. I actually think Dennis would be very laidback in general, he grew up with maids and butlers and never actually lived on his own. His college dorm must’ve been a hellsite, though the majority of dorms usually are. Mac cleans after Dennis, metaphorically and literally.

This then leads me to think a bit more about their living dynamics (though I dwelve into more headcanon-y territory) like how Dennis probably takes care of the money aspects (tbf Frank’s credit card takes care of it), Mac does grocery shopping because I think if Dennis did it, he’d come back with like 4 protein bars and some apples to last them the whole month. Mac totally cleans Dennis’ room, atleast in minor ways like dusting and taking out the trash, wile Dennis keeps their apartment tidy by decorating shelves or keeping things in their places. It’s a silent part of their living arrangement and the kind of thing they’d never trade off.

Mac and Dennis' apartment

Quick watercolor painting I did.. the colors are kinda washed out cause I just took a picture of it with my phone lmao. enjoy.

Dennis is not a psychopath.

He has antisocial personality disorder (as do the rest of them) and BPD (diagnosed in show). ASP is the result of trauma. Sociopaths are impulsive and prone to anger. They struggle to maintain relationships, careers, etc. Psychopaths can easily play along and maintain pretend relationships long term.

also worth saying that as he is a character and not all of the traits will be accurate to somebody with a true diagnosis..... but he does not fit the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath at all, and he exhibits sociopathic tendencies big time.
